I’m not doing too well with the heat here. Its been over 100 for days and we’ve got wildfires everywhere so the air isn’t that great.

But I did manage to get this thing done – a sample for a silk and chain necklace that is perfect for the beginning level beader.

The free version of this is still available somewhere on my website, but this was for an updated version with more details, more suppliers, more diagrams, more photos, more fringe and a big weird flower. Because… why not?
